Careful what you wish for.
The Democrats have an advantage in terms of the presidency because of how the states are divided. It is hard to say what the results would be if we went by popular vote. A lot of conservatives in New York and California don't bother voting. Looking at just California I'm going to guess that if you split it into 3 states you would get a swing state, a blue state, and a red state(depending on where thee borders were). Ever been to Redding?
Changing to the popular vote may not give you the political result that you think it will.
Nonetheless, the electoral college is an archaic nonsensical system that needs to go. I've yet to hear a good reason of why it should stick around.
